 Dog-poisoning still goes on. Miss Alice [ ord found her favoIite animal dead yester- day afternoon. The two animals found in the road north of MT. J. w. Hulls lay for two or three days. At last some disipterest- ed parties took the matter in hand and buried them one evening as health promotive: Quite an excitement was created by runaway horse one evening recently. Misses
 Lizzie and Essie Shepard were driving home
 from the northern part of the district between
 and 10 o'clock, and just after crossing the
 bridge at J. w. Tuttle's horse ran furious
 ly across the bridge and sprang on to their
 wagon, causing himself to fall with over
 turned wagon into the ditch by the road
 side, while the young ladies drove home and
 called to their father and brother, who ascer-
 tained that considerable damage was done
 the buggy. MT. Tuttle's family were all
 aroused by the noise at the bridge and sprang from their beds, MT. Futile arriving first at the horse, which he found on it's back in the mud, and called to others to come. There were some fifteen people at the scene and matters were righted as far as possible. MT. Futile is accommodating some tele- phone men 8 few days, and his barA as we'll as house was full, so the horse, which seemed l frightened, but not much injured, was taken to Mr. Shepard's barn. About Il o'clock Tr T,,ff for a runaway team. MT. Fred and George Back us had driven from Wallingford to Quinni- piac where they left the horse, which ran about two miles. The men took MT. Tut tle's wagon and started home. When they reached Quinnipiac the horse fell down and | it was long time before they could proceed, but some time before morning they succeed | ed in reaching Wallingford. Mr. Enos Bishop lost one of his span of | valuable horses last night The animal died suddenly.
 The large circle of Mr. s. F. Linsley's
 friends will rejoice to learn that he is i'm proving in health much sooner than was al | first feared. Dr. Goodyear lanced tho l swelling on MT. Linsley's leg last Tuesday \ and good resulted from it immediately and it is hoped the worst is over. MT. Linsley now hopes to be able to be present at the Memorial exercises next Monday, which he is very anxious to do on account of his person al interest in all relating to soldiers and also realizing that the number of interested ones is fast growing less.
